Class: FormalExpression

A FormalExpression used within a ConditionDef or a RangeCheck must evaluate to True or False. A FormalExpression referenced within a MethodDef having Type Imputation, Computation, or Transpose must evaluate to the correct DataType for an Item that may be imputed or computed using the Method. A FormalExpression gets parameter and return value definitions from the MethodSignature element. The data types in the MethodSignature parameters and return values must match the corresponding data types in the FormalExpression.

    description: 'ExternalCodeLib reference: The ExternalCodeLib element references
      a FormalExpression in an external code library, such as a file or GitHub. The
      intention is to make it possible to reference existing code libraries where
      the code is maintained as well as making it simpler to include longer, more
      complex FormalExpressions. The Library attribute provides the name of the external
      library, whereas ref or href provides a reference to the repository that can
      be used to retrieve the code. The Method attribute provides the name of the
      method in the file referenced for cases where multiple methods are provided
      in the source code file. The Version element provides the version of the external
      FormalExpression code referenced.'
